Compact translation
LEDs allow tuning of the light spectrum to the condition of the human eye under varying light conditions indoor and outdoor, light to grow plants and for production of algae and many other applications. Introduction of this beautiful technology requires a review of the quality and performance since they can not properly be expressed in the classic incandescent bulb related measures for effective available light (Lux), the produced flux (Lumen) and lifetime.

Agreenerworld
With its expert knowledge in LED lighting, Lemnis has developed a revolutionary concept that resulting in the same plant growth compared to conventional solutions, yet with drastic reduction of the energy consumption. Furthermore, with its long lifetime, LEDs reduce maintenance cost. This innovation in greenhouse lighting is the perfect response to the demands of the sector, society and the government.

Stackedgreenhouse
Using the height of a greenhouse to the max. Crops like crest, lettuce are a few centimeter high. With Lemnis stacked LEDs the greenhouse height of 8 m can be utilized to 3 or 4 layers.

The strawberry lamp with world record photosynthesis efficiciency of 2,1 umol/m2/sec. got nominated as most inovative product at the international Hortifair 2009
